The Importance of Finding the Right Shampoo for Your Pup:
You could be tempted to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't developed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have unique hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with specific formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or perhaps dry coat cleaners for the times when you can't give your dog a full bath.
Take into consideration the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, get fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you need to have coat products that are designed to tackle these issues. Human-grade shampoo won't include the proper ingredients to de-scent, heal dryness, or get rid of unwanted hitchhikers. At Natural Pet Food Solutions, we offer a variety of dog grooming supplies that meet your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking fantastic.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the appropriate brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Several dogs grow thick undercoats while others have practically no undercoat at all. All coats require the right type of brush to reduce pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may enjoy a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches. If you're not exactly sure of what types of brushes are best for the job, don't hesitate to ask our professionals at Natural Pet Food Solutions in Portland. Stop in or give us a call at (971) 373-8077 to discuss the kind of coat and certain issues your dog has. We'll show you what brushes and combs are the very best for your dog.
